Every day I watch you
Out there in the light
Every day I see you
With your beautiful life
Doing all the things I want to
Doing all the things I've dreamed I'd do
You don't know how I've hoped and prayed
That maybe someday
Someday the chance will finally be mine

To shine... Shine
To step out of the shadows and into the light
To shine... Shine
To come out from the curtains, and start my life
Tell me will it ever
Be my turn
To show the world I'm ready
And it's my time
To shine

Every day I'm trying
Not to care
But every day I'm thinking
Life's so unfair
Why am I the one who has to wait?
Why am I the one who always takes
A backseat to somebody else's hopes and dreams?
It's only right the chance should be mine

To shine... Shine
To step out of the shadows and into the light
To shine... Shine
To come out from the curtains, and sun my life
Tell me will it ever
Be my turn
To show the world I'm ready
And it's my time

To shine...
It's got to be enough
For me here
Follow me somewhere
There's got to be enough
Why, for us all
For us all to shine
Don't we all deserve the chance
One long awaited day at last

Somewhere, somehow, sometime
To shine... Shine
Ohh, oh, oh
To shine... Shine
To step out of the shadows and into the light
To shine... Shine
To come out from the curtains, and start my life
To shine... Shine
To step out of the shadows and into the light
